Big eyes, shaggy fur and one very important mushroom.

Curled up at the foot of a spotted cap, the little creature on this toadstool mug is the Mushroom Fluffball, drawn in simple black lines. Fill it with coffee, tea or cocoa and let the fluffball keep you company on the desk, by the stove or on a mushroom-loving pal's shelf.

The design: Mushroom Fluffball

Meet a round little ball of shaggy fur with no legs or ears to speak of, just wispy tufts all over and a couple of curly marks along its side. Two big round eyes with shiny pupils gaze straight up, as if it has only just noticed how tall its mushroom really is.

One small paw reaches up to grip the stem while a furry arm wraps across its body, and the fluffball nestles into the bend of a toadstool whose stem hooks down and sweeps around beneath it. Overhead, a rounded cap speckled with spots of every size shows fine gills on its underside, and two veined leaves drift beside the pair, one at the upper left and one to the right of the stem.

Everything is thin black linework, left uncolored and wordless, like a coloring-book page before the pencils come out. It is a small, quiet scene about holding on to the thing you love most, which feels about right for an unhurried morning brew.

Glossy ceramic for the daily coffee round

• A solid ceramic body under a shiny glaze; the white surface works like a blank page, so every tuft of fur in the drawing is easy to see
• Washing up is a dishwasher job and reheating is a microwave job: the mug and its print are made to handle both
• The drawing is printed on both sides of the mug, so the fluffball stays in view whichever way the handle points
• All white inside, so you can judge the strength of your tea at a glance

Who it's for

Mushroom fans, cottagecore decorators, people who doodle in the margins of their notebooks and anyone who fills a kitchen cupboard with cute creatures. It suits a slow breakfast, a study break or a mug of tea on the porch. Give it for a birthday, Valentine's Day, a first day at a new job or the winter holidays.

Quick answers

What kind of creature is it?

A made-up forest fluffball: a round ball of shaggy fur with two big eyes and small paws, drawn for this mug. It does not come from any show or film, so there is no story you need to know to enjoy it.

Is the picture one continuous print around the mug?

No. It is the same drawing placed twice, with a strip of plain white between the two copies on the side facing away from the handle. Turn the mug a little and the fluffball comes back into view.

Is the toadstool a real species?

It is drawn the storybook way, with a rounded, speckled cap and fine gills, rather than as a copy of one particular mushroom. Enjoy it as art, not as a foraging guide.
